GENERAL GUIDELINES/IMIQATHANGO EQHELEKILEYO
1. CALCULATIONS/UKUBALA
1.1 Marks will be awarded for: correct formula, correct substitution, correct
answer with unit.
Amanqaku ayakunikelwa ifomyula echanekileyo, ukufakela izimeli,
iimpendulo ezichanekileyo ezineyunithi.
1.2 No marks will be awarded if an incorrect or inappropriate formula is used,
even though there are many relevant symbols and applicable substitutions.
Akukho manqaku azakunikwa ukuba kusetyenziswe ifomyula engeyiyo,
nangona kukho iisimboli nezimeli ezizizo.
1.3 When an error is made during substitution into a correct formula, a mark
will be awarded for the correct formula and for the correct substitutions, but
no further marks will be given.
Xa kwenzeke impazamo ekufakelweni kwezimeli kwifomyula
echanekileyo, likhona inqaku elinganikelwa ifomyula nezimeli ezichanekileyo
kodwa awakho amanye amanqaku anikwayo.
1.4 If no formula is given, but all substitutions are correct, a candidate will
forfeit one mark.
Ukuba akukho fomyula inikiweyo, kodwa zonke izimeli zichanekile,
umlingwa uyakulahlekelwa linqaku.
1.5 No penalisation if zero substitutions are omitted in calculations where
correct formula/principle is correctly given.
Akuyi kuxhuzulwa manqaku ukuba izimeli zika zero zishiyelelwe
kwizibalo apho ifomyula/umgaqo uchanekileyo.
1.6 Mathematical manipulations and change of subject of appropriate formulae
carry no marks, but if a candidate starts off with the correct formula and then
changes the subject of the formula incorrectly, marks will be awarded for the
formula and correct substitutions. The mark for the incorrect numerical
answer is forfeited.
Uhlengahlengiso lwezibalo notshintsho lwesubject kwifomyula ezizizo
alunamanqaku, kodwa ukuba umlingwa uqale ngefomyula echanekileyo ze
watshintsha isubject yefomyula ngokuphosakeleyo, amanqaku ayakunikelwa
ifomyla nezimeli ezichanekileyo. Inqaku lempendulo engachanekanga
liyakumphosa.
1.7 Marks are only awarded for a formula if a calculation has been attempted,
i.e. substitutions have been made or a numerical answer given.
Amanqaku anikelwa ifomyula kuphela xa isibalo sizanyiwe, izimeli zifakiwe
okanye impendulo elinani inikiwe.

(EC/SEPTEMBER 2021) PHYSICAL SCIENCES/INZULULWAZI P1 3
1.8 Marks can only be allocated for substitutions when values are substituted
into formulae and not when listed before a calculation starts.
Amanqaku ayakunikezelwa kuphela ukuba amaxabiso afakiwe kwifomyula
kwaye azidweliswanga nje phambi kokubala.
1.9 All calculations, when not specified in the question, must be done to a
minimum of two decimal places.
Zonke izibalo ukuba akuqononondiswanga kumbuzo, mazenziwe
zibenamaqondo amabini edesimali .
1.10 If a final answer to a calculation is correct, full marks will not automatically be
awarded. Markers will always ensure that the correct/appropriate formula is
used and that workings, including substitutions, are correct.
Ukuba impendulo yokugqibela ichanekile, amanqaku apheleleyo awakusuka
anikelwe. Abamakishi bakuqinisekisa ukuba ifomyula echanekileyo
isetyenzisiwe kwaye umsebenzi kunye nezimeli zichanekile.
1.11 Questions where a series of calculations have to be made (e.g. a circuit
diagram question) do not necessarily always have to follow the same order.
FULL MARKS will be awarded provided it is a valid solution to the problem.
However, any calculation that will not bring the candidate closer to the
answer than the original data, will not count any marks.
Kwimibuzo apho kulindeleke uhlohlo lwezibalo (umz. Umbuzo wecircuit
diagram) akunyanzelekanga lulandelelwano lunye. AMANQAKU
APHELELEYO ayakunikwa ukuba sisisombululo esisiso kumbuzo. Nasiphi
na isibalo esingamsondeziyo umlingwa kwimpendulo echanekileyo asiyi
kunikwa manqaku.
2. UNITS/IIYUNITHI
2.1 Candidates will only be penalised once for the repeated use of an incorrect
unit within a question.
Abalingwa bayakuhluthelwa amanqaku kube kanye ukuba bathe gqolo
besebenzisa iyunithi engachanekanga kumbuzo lowo.
2.2 Units are only required in the final answer to a calculation.
Iiyunithi zilindeleke kwimpendulo yokugqibela yesibalo.
2.3 Marks are only awarded for an answer, and not for a unit per se.
Candidates will therefore forfeit the mark allocated for the answer in each of
the following situations:
Correct answer + wrong unit
Wrong answer + correct unit
Correct answer + no unit
Amanqaku anikezelwa impendulo, hayi iyunithi. Umlingwa ke ngoko
uyakulahlekelwa ngamanqaku kwezi meko ziladelayo:
Impendulo echanekileyo + iyunithi ephosakeleyo
Impendulo engachanekanga + iyunithi echanekileyo
Impendulo echanekieyo + iyunithi eshiyelelweyo/engekhoyo

2.4 SI units must be used except in certain cases, e.g. V .m-1 instead of N.C-1, and
cm•s-1 or km•h-1 instead of m•s-1 where the question warrants this.
SI-yunithi mazisetyenziswe, ngaphandle kwa kwezi meko,umz. V•m-1
endaweni ka N•C-1, kunye no cm•s-1 ka km•h-1 endaweni ka m•s-1 kodwa
umbuzo uyakungqina oku.
3. GENERAL/OKUQHELEKILEYO
3.1 If one answer or calculation is required, but two are given by the candidate,
only the first one will be marked, irrespective of which one is correct. If two
answers are required, only the first two will be marked, etc.
Ukuba kulindeleke impendulo okanye isibalo esinye ze umlingwa anike
zibembini, kuyakuqwalaselwa kuphla le yokuqala nokuba yeyiphi kuzo
echanekileyo. Ukuba kulindeleke iimpendulo ezimbini, kuyakuqwalaselwa
kuphela isibini sokuqala.
3.2 For marking purposes, alternative symbols (s, u, t, etc.) will also be accepted.
Ukwenzela ukumakisha, ezinye iisimboli (s, u, t, ens.) ziyakwamkeleka.
3.3 Separate compound units with a multiplication dot, not a full stop, for
example, m•s-1.
For marking purposes, m•s-1 and m/s will also be accepted.
Yohlula iiyunithi ezidityanisiweyo ngemultiplication dot. Hayi isingxi,
umz. m•s-1. Ukwenzela ukumakisha, u m•s-1 no m/s bayakwamkeleka nabo.
4. POSITIVE MARKING
Positive marking regarding calculations will be followed in the following cases:
Positive marking malunga nezibalo iyakulandelwa kwezi meko zilandelayo:
4.1 Sub-question to sub-question: When a certain variable is calculated in one
sub-question (e.g. 3.1) and needs to be substituted in another (3.2 of 3.3),
e.g. if the answer for 3.1 is incorrect and is substituted correctly in 3.2 or 3.3,
full marks are to be awarded for the subsequent sub-questions.
Umbuzwana ukuya kumbuzwana: xa ivariable ethile ibalwe kumbuzwana
omnye (umz. 3.1) kwaye idinga ukufakelwa kwenye (3.2 okanye 3.3), umz.
ukuba impendulo ka 3.1 ayichanekanga ibe ifakelwe kakuhle ku 3.2 okanye
3.3,amanqaku apheleleyo ayaunikelwa umbuzwana olandelayo.
4.2 A multistep question of a sub-question: If the candidate has to calculate,
for example, current in die first step and gets it wrong due to a substitution
error, the mark for the substitution and the final answer will be forfeited.
Umbuzo onamanqanaba amaninzi wombuzwana: Uba umlingwa ufanele
abale. umz. Umsinga kwibakala lokuqala aze aliphose ngenxa yezimeli
ezingachanekanga, inqaku lesimeli nelempendulo yokugqibela
ziyakumphosa.

5. NEGATIVE MARKING
Normally an incorrect answer cannot be correctly motivated if based on a conceptual
mistake. If the candidate is therefore required to motivate in QUESTION 3.2 the
answer given in QUESTION 3.1, and QUESTION 3.1 is incorrect, no marks can be
awarded for QUESTION 3.2. However, if the answer for e.g. QUESTION 3.1 is
based on a calculation, the motivation for the incorrect answer could be considered.
Ngokwesiqhelo impendulo engachanekanga ayithetheleleki isekelezelwe
kwingcamangao enempazamo. Ukuba umlingwa ulindeleke ukuba acacise/asekele
kuMBUZO 3.2 impendulo abeyinike ku MBUZO 3.1, ube loMBUZO 3.1
ungachanekanga, akukho manqaku azakunikelwa uMBUZO 3.2. Ukuba impendulo
ekuMBUZO 3.1 isekelezelwe ekubaleni, imotivation yempendulo engachanekanga
ingajongwa.

Like charges repel each other/Ezifanayo ziyakhabana.
OR/OKANYE
The charges repel each other. If sphere A is negative, then sphere B must also be
negative.
icharges ziyakhabana. Ukuba usphere A unegative, ngoko usphere B naye
makabe negative. (2)

8.1.2 Gradient is the inverse of the resistance. /
OR
Gradient = (1)
8.1.3 Conductor C./Geleier C.
It has the highest resistance. The higher the resistance of a conductor,
the more heat is produced in the conductor if the current is constant. (2)
